From May 1994 to December 1996 the wound coat "Takhocomb" was used in surgical procedures in 23 patients with various diseases of the and the pancreas. "Takhocomb" was mostly applied in various anatomical resections of the liver. Initial hemostasis of the hepatic stump was carried out by careful suturing of bleeding vessels. "Takhocomb" was used in 3 patients during pancreatoduodenal resection for chronic pancreatitis, adenocarcinoma of papilla Vateri and adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head. The application of the wound coat "Takhocomb" in various resections (12) an hepatic ruptures (2), as well as in echinococcectomies (3) and removal of hepatic hemangioma (1) contributed to favourable hemostatic effect in all the patients. In 2 cases formation of external biliary fistulas due to technical errors in liver resection was detected in postoperative period. The fluid accumulation at subhepatic space or at the bed of resected liver after rightsided liver resections was considered as the tissue fluid production frown retroperitoneal fat.
